English Language Proficiency among Students and Teaching Methods
Abstract
In junior secondary schools in south-west Oyo State, pupils' performance in English language depends on the teaching strategies utilized by their instructors. In this study, junior secondary school pupils in Nigeria are examined with regard to their academic achievement and instructional strategies. The study used a descriptive research design but used a variety of methods for gathering and analyzing data. There were 120 instructors at the Junior Secondary School who were the target population. Using percentage-based descriptive statistics and inferential statistics that were assessed for significance at 0.05, the research issue was answered. The majority of instructors' methods of instruction have a significant impact on students' academic performance, according to the study's findings. Based on these findings, the student-centered approach and the teacher-student interactive method were suggested as ways to raise students' academic performance.
